The EQ Display shows the traces of the

 (upper trace – white) and the 

spectral content of the frequencies subtracted

 (EQ applied) to the 

affected signal

 (lower trace – green).  

TrackSpacer analyzes and subtracts frequencies in real time so the traces animate based on the audio 
signals. 

The area below the audio signals indicates the 

name

 and 

value

 of any 

control

 that is being changed (or
